Broderick Vehrs Dazzles in Basha Win
Starting off the list is Basha's Broderick Vehrs, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Vehrs threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown.
Basha's win was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Vehrs and Basha will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Chandler at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Gio Richardson Turns in Season-Best Performance
Gio Richardson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Basha to the win on Friday. Richardson picked up 183 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 89 yards.
Unfortunately for Hamilton, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Richardson. When Richardson last faced the Huskies back in October of 2023, he picked up 151 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Casteel Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Paul Palmer
Casteel picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Paul Palmer. Palmer was unstoppable, throwing for 211 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 31 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Palmer might just drop another big game when he faces off against Chandler on Friday. Palmer rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 199 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Wolves duked it out back in September of 2023.
